Benefits of technology
[0006]The task underlying the present invention is therefore to enable safe dissipation of an electrostatic charge from a tapping fitting which not only requires no additional effort for mounting the tapping fitting on the liquid container, but also enables the electrostatic charge to be dissipated particularly effectively. A further underlying task of the invention is to suggest a transport and storage container for liquids that provides a higher degree of operational safety.
Problems solved by technology
When such liquid containers are filled or emptied, friction between the liquid and the mantle of the liquid container may cause the buildup of electrostatic charges, which may result in ignition of the liquid or of the gases formed by the liquid.

Embodiment Construction
[0045]FIG. 1 shows a transport and storage container 1 usable for one-time and repeated storage of liquids and having a replaceable, cuboid inner container 2 made from plastic and with a front wall 3, a rear wall 4 and two side walls 5, 6, a lower horizontal surface 7 constructed as a draining base and an upper horizontal surface 8, a filling port 9 conformed therein and closable with a cap 10, and a drain spigot 12 conformed in a recess 11 in the bottom section of front wall 3. Drain spigot 12 is produced as a single part with inner container 2 in a blow moulding process. Drain spigot 12 is used for attaching a tapping fitting 13, particularly a ball or flap cock. Inner container 2 is arranged inside an outer shell 14 which has a cage construction with metal cage bars 15, 16 intersecting horizontally and vertically, and is disposed on a pallet-like base 17.
[0046]Tapping fitting 13 has a fitting housing 18, an exemplary embodiment of which is shown in FIG. 2, and which is preferably...
